Hi
Replacing a ring gear involves destroying the old gear and installing a new
one in its place. To install it you must heat it to 368 (as I recall)
degrees (Celsius), then slide it on to the cold flywheel. You have only one
try, if you get it wrong you can't remove it without destroying it.
In this case it's the other way around, you want to keep your ring and
replace the flywheel. You will have to destroy your flywheel in order to get
the ring out. Will probably take you a long time. I would wait for the new
ring to arrive if I were in your clothes.
An other thing is that this used ring have been stretched by sitting on the
current flywheel for the whole of its life, it might be that it can't cope
with yet another installation. It will probably work, but it's better to be
safe than sorry.



Best regards, Per
